Southampton have been given huge boost ahead of the summer transfer window as attacker Jay Rodriguez has signed a new four-year deal with the club, keeping him on the south coast until 2019.

Rodriguez, who is valued at £11 million by transfermarkt.co.uk, has missed the entire season through injury after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligaments last April but has still been linked with a move away from the Saints.

The injury ruled him out of the World Cup with England last summer and also prevented him from leaving as part of the Southampton exodus, but the likes of Spurs, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal have all been linked with moves this summer.

They will all have to look elsewhere now though as the 25-year-old Englishman has committed his future to Southampton.
